Soaker

A 'soaker' typically refers to something that absorbs liquid readily, especially water. This can apply to a physical object like a sponge or a towel, or figuratively to a person or thing that excessively enjoys or endures something, often in a negative context (e.g., rain, problems). The term highlights the capacity for absorption, be it literal or metaphorical. Its usage depends on the specific application of the term to absorb and use a liquid; from plants soakin in water to a towel soakin up sweat. It can describe an extended period of activity or a downpour of a liquid, or the person undergoing this.
